MORGAN AND SCOTT, 12, PATERNOSTER BUILDINGS, E.C. _To be obtained from the_ _British Committee of the Federation for the Abolition of State Regulation of Vice, 17, Tothill Street, Westminster, S.W.;_ _And from the American Purity Alliance, United Charities' Building, New York, U.S.A._ 1899. Entered, in the year 1898, by ELIZABETH W. ANDREW and KATHARINE C. BUSHNELL, At Stationers' Hall, London. DEDICATED TO JOSEPHINE E. BUTLER, PROPHETESS OF THE TRUTH IN CHRIST JESUS; LOVER OF HOLY JUSTICE; FRIEND OF OUTCAST WOMEN; LEADER OF "THE NEW ABOLITIONISTS"; WHOM GOD HATH ANOINTED WITH HIS OWN PECULIAR JOY. BECAUSE, IN THE SPIRIT OF HER MASTER, SHE HATH "LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED INIQUITY." PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. THIS little book is written under a deep sense of obligation to the womanhood of the world, but more especially under a sense of duty to God. A group of women of the British aristocracy have lifted their voices in advocacy of licensed vice; and their sycophants and admirers in England and America are either re-echoing their plea or excusing their conduct. The plea is made primarily for India, but incidentally for all Christendom, and every effort is being put forth, openly or covertly, to contaminate public sentiment on this point.
